A.R.K. Receives #CommunityChoice Grant

The Roscommon County Community Foundation (RCCF) is pleased to announce they have awarded their third #CommunityChoice Grant to The A.R.K. (Association to Rescue Kritters). The A.R.K. was nominated by the community, and ultimately received the most “likes” resulting in a big win for their organization. The A.R.K. was presented with a $1,000.00 grant funded by the Ambassador Club Fund.

The A.R.K is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured and orphaned wildlife. Approximately 825 birds, mammals and reptiles were admitted for rehabilitative care in 2017. The A.R.K. plans to use the funds from the #CommunityChoice grant to help support their project of removing and trimming about 38 trees that have been infected with the oak wilt disease. This project is crucial not only for the safety of volunteers, but for the safety of animals and anyone who visits the property. According to Executive Director Ruth Fruehauf, there is just “too much at risk” with the chance of falling limbs and trees that could injure animals and volunteers or damage cages and structures on the property.
